Scene 3 - The Ardeyn Run

The Queen reaches out with lightning, and it crawls across the cavern ceiling like a living web. For a brief moment, the while area is lit.

You see a feathered dragon perched on a ledge twenty feet in the air, a hundred yards away. With the lightning, it leaps into the air wings spread and soars at you.

Micah is up.
OOC:
In going to run the NPCs like PCs, not that they're really built the same way in The Strange.

Micah takes a couple of deep breaths and then sprints towards the dragon, hoping to close the distance as much as possible.
OOC:
Trying for a Long Move. Applying 2 levels of Effort. The first costs 1 point as Edge is applied. The second costs the full 2 points for a total of 3 points spent. Difficulty 4, down two levels, 2. TN 6.

Micah runs hard through the flickering darkness, moving 30 yards. The Dragon sailing through the air, closing the distance, moving 60 yards. They are now 10 yards apart.

Vinny, Domic, and Huval rush after Micah. The Queen lashes out with her lightning ranged attack.

Everybody may act, in whatever order you post. This includes Micah who may act again before the dragon will.

Duke moves to get into range considering the distance he'll just focus on getting closer to the ensuing combat without getting sucker punched.

Micah reaches out a hand, pointing to the dragon in the air above him. He reaches out with his mind, searching for the dragon's and its dreams. He tries to force his way in, grabbing at the images he finds there.
OOC:
Spending 2 Intellect points for Dream Thief, then another three for a level of Effort with Edge of 1. Rolling for the attack. If successful, the "creature loses 2 points of Intellect (ignores Armor), and you learn something the GM chooses to reveal about the creature—its nature, a portion of its plans, a memory, and so on."

Dream Thief - (1d20)

With as much speed as Micah but with what seems like less effort, Katyu races past. Even with her speed the dragon is just out of reach.

Duke moves a short distance (15m).
Katyu moves a long distance (30m) but is still out of melee range.
Micah, only 10m away, uses his mental powers on the dragon.

OOC:
Ooh, I can't wait to share what I've learned! Waiting until my next turn to shout it out to you all.
Jan 25, 2019 2:15 pm
OOC:
I guess that's everyone.
The dragon, screaming in rage as lightning washes over its hide, lands in front of the Queen, and envelops her in dragon flamebreath, neck stretched out and bard teeth silhouetted by the fire. She holds her hands up futilely.

The dragons tail lashes out at Vinny the rock monster, who takes 6 Might Damage.

You can all move into Short or Immediate range as you wish. The dragon is in the ground ready for a fight. You can all act in whatever order you post.

"Well shit..." Duke mutters looking around, "Micah if you see our target holler!" he barks out scanning the area as it's bathed in fire.
OOC:
Well since things just went pearshaped... I look for our primary reason for being here... trained in The Strange if that helps me spot the McGuffin.

Looking for the device - (1d20)

Duke does not see the device in his view.
Jan 26, 2019 3:07 am
Micah yells out to Duke, "It's not here! The dragon took it back to its lair before eating the mercenaries!" Micah then moves to the side, keeping his hand raised as if to ward off the heat of the flames and studies the dragon, hoping to understand it better.
OOC:
Spending this turn using Understanding on it. 2 Intellect points, modified by Edge of 1.
Jan 29, 2019 9:23 am
OOC:
I guess my post above will be my turn here. Sorry, wasn't 100% on where the dragon was in relation.
Rushing forward now that the dragon has landed, her target is within her strike. Leaping into the air she thrust her blade up at the winged beast. It is too quick and lifts up out of her range. "дерьмо! This beast fast. Keep a light on it."

Nah, you can roll that awful attack.

Katyushka to roll her attack

Katyushka's attack misses, her artifact lance buffeted away by a feathered wing.

The dragon snaps at the queen, its tail training about at Vinny. Bad news for the Queen.


Your moves.

After spending a moment studying the dragon, Micah whips out his knife and flips it so that he's holding onto the blade, kisses the handle and says, "Well, here goes nothing." With that, he flings the dagger at the dragon with all his might.
OOC:
The Effort Enhancer gives me 1 free level of Effort. I'll spend another one to reduce the difficulty(3 Might points). I'll apply a second level of effort to damage (2 Might points). I used Understanding, which reduces it 1 more. I'm using a Light weapon, so the difficulty is further reduced by 1. So, difficulty reduced by 4 levels and +3 damage, for a total of 5 damage.
